How to Get More Followers on Twitter

twitter,followers

Twitter is a microblogging network  that allows users to post status updates about where they are, what they are doing or just random thoughts that cross their minds as the day goes by. The site utilizes a message structure that is similar to an SMS text message, with the length being limited to 140 characters.

The key to successful "tweeting" on Twitter is to build a large follower base. The more followers you have, the more likely it is that someone will see and respond to your messages. A simple and direct strategy will help you get more followers on Twitter.

Things You'll Need:
  • Twitter Account 

Step 1:

Sign into your Twitter account and click the "Profile" link at the top of the page. Look over your profile to make sure everything has been completed. You also should upload a profile picture and make sure you've filled out the bio section. If you need to do either of these things, click the "Settings" link at the top of the page to complete your profile. Consider altering the font or background color of your profile to give it a more individual style. Express yourself! Twitter users tend to gravitate towards completed profiles that show you are a person and not a bot.

Step 2:

Look over the main body of your profile page to ensure that you have an ample number of tweets. Twitter will display up to 20 tweets before adding a "More" button. Have at least 20 tweets and make sure that the newest one is from today. This shows potential followers that you are active on Twitter.

Step 3:

Find a member who is active in follow-back circles. Click the "Home" link at the top of the page. Scroll down until you see the search bar on the right side. Type either "#followback" or "#teamfollowback" into the search bar and press "Enter." Look over the people who have recently used the hashtag you searched for and click on one.

Step 4:

Click the "Follow" button to follow this user, then click the "List" link on their profile. Look for lists that identify people who follow back. Click one of these lists to open it, then click the "Following" link to display a list of everyone on the list. Results will be broken up into segments of 20 users per page.

Step 5:

Scroll down the list, clicking the "Follow" button next to each profile. Skip over any users who are tweeting in a foreign language. Also, skip users with a padlock icon, as these will require manual verification. Continue following members in this manner until you have followed several hundred new members. Twitter allows you to follow up to 1,000 members per day but it's generally a good idea to stay a few hundred members below this ceiling.

Step 6:

Wait a minimum of 24 hours. It will take up to a day for some members to follow you back. Be patient and give them time to respond. Many of the individuals you are following may be members of automated follow-back programs that only run once per day. Allow at least a day and you will see a noticeable increase in the number of your followers.

Step 7:

Go to the "Manage Flitter" website using the link provided in the Resources section below and sign in using your Twitter login. This site will process the list of people you follow and the people who follow you on Twitter. It will run a comparative analysis and generate a list of people that you follow but who do not follow you back. Check the box to select everyone on the list and then click "Unfollow." Log out from the Manage Flitter website. Over the next several minutes, your Twitter account will unfollow these users, leaving room for you to follow others.

Step 8:

Begin looking for a new follow-back list so that you can follow an entirely new group of people. The more people you follow, the more that will follow you back. Continuing this process will allow you to build a Twitter account with a substantial number of followers in a very short time.


Tips:

Although this process will work  as described, Twitter does not like it if you are following and unfollowing a large number of accounts. Try not to follow more than 600 new people at once and break your unfollows into increments of 250 or less during any 24 hour period.
